  • Attempt at Re-Localization of a Reported Noric Bonanza
    ATTEMPT AT RE-LOCALIZATION OF A REPORTED NORIC BONANZA FRANZ J. CULETTO Private Research Associates, Stallhofen 59-60, A-9821 Obervellach, Austria (Dated: June 20, 2009) Summary. As a by-product of over three decennial (intermittently done) mineralogical fieldwork on gold deposits in the Carinthian /Southern Salzburg area of Austria, guided by mining historical literature and primary sources too, attempts towards re-localization of a 2nd century B.C. Noric bonanza reported by Polybius 34,10,10–14 and this recorded in Strabo’s Geographica 4,6,12 C208 are communicated. Results are cross-checked with part of the literature on the subject – palaeobotanic, linguistic and ethnographic special work been outside the paper’s scope – and correlated to own (unpublished) native gold finds. Because glaciological, mineralogical/metallo- genetic, geological and historical aspects in the Tauern gold context were already discussed in comprehensive monographs by Paar et al. (2000; 2006), for details is referred to these authors. In essence, not the reported bonanza’s (if any) singular significance seems to have been crucial for the Noric (from 15 B.C. Noric-Roman) likely gold mining boom, but its action in drawing attention to likewise easily accessible and workable locations most contrasting to the distant small scale test or productive gold-silver mining sites along the outcrops of ore structures well above the valleys’ bottom. Most of the more profitable precious metal deposits had had to be mined between around 2000 – 3000 m above sea level in the Hohe Tauern mountain area. The paper, its 2008 version judged “not of sufficient relevance to readers of the Mining History Journal” (US) and the current one expectedly not accepted for publication by the Editorial Board of the Oxford Journal of Archaeology (UK), but the data given nevertheless maybe of interest to specialists, so was published online.

Simple. Genuine. Located in the heart of the Salzburger Land and on the eastern side of the Hohe Tauern National Park, the Rauris Valley – Raurisertal - is a venue for idyllic getaways. Traditional animal species extinct in the area have been reintroduced into the National Park and have since made it their home, along with smaller animals which have lived in the Hohe Tauern for centuries. Look out for imposing bearded vultures or once the snow melts, free-roaming marmots. Traditions are strong, history long and the people friendly in Rauris, a traditional, unspoilt resort in a protected national park area of great natural beauty. Some years ago Rauris had to decide whether to opt for mass tourism, or a gentler, more traditional way of life. They decided to preserve the local precious countryside, plants, animals and mountains. The entire valley promotes itself as the Raurisertal, although Rauris remains the main centre.

Geophysical methods are widely used to investigate the influence of climate change on alpine 10 permafrost. Methods sensitive to the electrical properties, such as electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), are the most popular in permafrost investigations. However, the necessity to have a good galvanic contact between the electrodes and the ground in order to inject high current densities is a main limitation of ERT. Several studies have demonstrated the potential of refraction seismic tomography (RST) to overcome the limitations of ERT and to monitor permafrost processes. Seismic methods are sensitive to contrasts in the seismic velocities of unfrozen 15 and frozen media and thus, RST has been successfully applied to monitor seasonal variations in the active layer. However, uncertainties in the resolved models, such as underestimated seismic velocities, and the associated interpretation errors are seldom addressed. To fill this gap, in this study we review existing literature regarding refraction seismic investigations in alpine permafrost permitting to develop conceptual models illustrating different subsurface conditions associated to seasonal variations.

    FACT SHEET Facts Raurisertal Valley Rauris – the village Political district Zell am See in the county of Salzburg, Austria Location on 948 m above sea level Distance to Salzburg: 90 km Distance to Munich : 210 km Area 253 km² Rauris is Austria´s third-largest municipality, the largest municipality in the SalzburgerLand and in the Ferienregion Nationalpark Hohe Tauern. Residents 3.100 Guest beds 3.000 The Raurisertal Valley Villages Main village Rauris, Wörth, Bucheben Side Valley The Raurisertal Valley is 30 km long and has 5 side valleys. Each of the valleys has its own characteristics. Due to the gold mining era and its importance as gold mining centre the Raurisertal is often called “the golden Valley of the Alps”. Nowadays visitors can try their luck as treasure hunters at 3 gold panning stations. - Hüttwinkltal Valley: known for its gold mining era and the valley end of “Kolm Saigurn“ at the bottom of the Hohe Sonnblick (3.106 m) - Seidlwinkltal Valley, „Valley of Pilgrams and Haulers“: 500 year old “Tauernhaus”. Annual Glockner-Pilgrimage through the Seidlwinkltal Valley and via the Großglockner High Alpine Road to Heiligenblut in Carinthia. - Krumltal, „Valley of Vultures“: The valley has been chosen for the re- introduction of the bearded vultures (1986). Since then visitors can watch the “Kings of the Skies” – bearded vultures, griffon vultures and golden eagles – and other wild animals in their natural habitat. - Forsterbachtal and Gaisbachtal - „Valley of Springs“: With this project 60 of 300 natural springs have been made accessible for visitors. Highlights: Rauriser UrQuell at the Boden- haus, waterfalls in Kolm Saigurn and in the Krumltal Valley, water-infor- mation trail in the Seidlwinkltal Valley, water playground Summererpark.

Glacier inventories provide the basis for further 1 Introduction studies on mass balance and volume change, relevant for lo- cal hydrological issues as well as for global calculation of The history of growth and decay of mountain glaciers af- sea level rise. In this study, a new Austrian glacier inventory fects society in the form of global changes in sea level and in has been compiled, updating data from 1969 (GI 1) and 1998 the regional hydrological system as well as through glacier- (GI 2) based on high-resolution lidar digital elevation mod- related natural disasters. Apart from these direct impacts, els (DEMs) and orthophotos dating from 2004 to 2012 (GI the study of past glacier changes reveals information on 3).
